 Scoil an Linbh Íosa had great success at the Cumann na mBunscol Cross Country meet today which was held in the Hawkfield Sport Complex in Newbridge. The school had entered both a boys and girls team to compete in a very tough 1200m race.
 Colourful, creative and brilliant are only some of the words that can be used to describe the amazing Easter bonnets that were on display today at our competition. This fundraising initiative was organised and implemented by our new Student council representatives and was a big hit among the children. There was a great sense of excitement around the halls in anticipation of the winners from each class grouping!
 The school year is passing quickly and in the last few weeks we have seen the end of the basketball season. Both the boys and girls teams performed very well this year and were a pleasure to work with. The standard of our players is improving all the time and they should be very proud of themselves. We hope our sixth class players, in particular will continue to play next year for their secondary school teams.
 Both the 5th and 6th classes of Scoil an Linbh Íosa were very lucky to have a visitor last week. Community Garda Shane who is stationed in Clane Garda station visited the student to discuss lots of different aspects of safety, the life of a Garda and he even showed the children some of his uniform and equipment!
